Track Bar replacement questions

Ok this actually started out going to be a replace the bushing project, but a co-worker of mine gave me a brand new track bar (still has chryslers stickers on it), so now we shift to replacing the whole thing.



What would be the best way to ensure the front axle doesn't shift when I remove the old bar? Should I use to jacks and jack the frame on both sides to allow me to shift the axle if need be? or should I just leave the J**P on the ground and change it? or does someone here have a better idea(s)?



Also, while I'm asking, what's the best/easiest way to change the rear sway bar bushings?



Thanks Snow...93 XJ

It's going to shift anyway. I just dropped the trackbar , put in new bushings then put it back up. Had to have someone lean on the ZJ to get the bolt in but that was about it.

Actually, it might not shift if you're on level ground. If all else fails, turn on the car and turn the steering wheel left and right, bounce up and down on it and it will settle centered (naturally). *shrug* If you don't have a lift, just bolt up one side and have someone turn the steering wheel (or lean as said before) until the holes line up.
